Washington DC’s Studio Theatre Applies for Renovation Permits


A practicing attorney for more than 30 years, Jonathan D. Strum serves as counsel for an academic institution of higher learning in Washington, DC. Outside of his work, Jonathan Strum is a patron of the arts and enjoys attending plays at the Studio Theatre in DC.

The Studio Theatre is an intimate venue where patrons have enjoyed contemporary theater for four decades. The theater has been at its current location on 14th and P Street since 1987. The company recently announced that it will expand and upgrade its facilities.

The proposed changes will add two adjoining buildings and expand the northeast corner of the current complex’s third floor. The expansion will give Stage 4 enough room for a backstage area, including a green room and a dressing room. 

The project is expected to be helmed by Hickok Cole, an architecture firm whose previous work includes the International Spy Museum, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and NPR’s DC location in the NoMa neighborhood.
